Are royal children DNA tested?

No, and even if they were, it is very unlikely that we'd hear about it.

But then the only safeguards about parentage are those laid down in times before DNA testing was invented. In British law this does, almost unbelievably, go back to the second oldest Act of Parliament still in force, the Treason Act 1351. (The oldest, just in case you're interested, is a section of the Statute of Marlborough now known as the Distress Act 1267.) This provides, amongst other things, that adultery with the wife of the King or the wife of the heir apparent to the throne is high treason, formerly punishable by death and now punishable by life imprisonment, the whole reason for it being that it calls into question the parentage of possible heirs to the throne.

To go totally off the question now, but it's fun, this was how Henry VIII got rid of the two wives he had executed - he framed them for adultery. Though Catherine Howard almost certainly had committed the offence anyway.

This is one of the few offences for which the death penalty remained on the statute book even though it had been abolished for murder in 1965, until it was finally totally repealed in 1998. A British tabloid newspaper had fun with this when James Hewitt was accused of adultery with Princess Diana. If it was true, the only sentence available to the judge would have been to have him hanged for treason - but the police "accidentally on purpose" failed to get him prosecuted as a) the trial would have been massively embarrassing and b) there were no facilities for carrying out the sentence as the last remaining gallows, at Wandsworth Prison, had already been converted into a prison officers' tea room.

In this case I wouldn't worry about being a Troll, you see there are two who answered the question named Hewitt and Lucan who are our resident trolls. DNA testing is not carried out on any Royals, there is no need to.

Why should they be?

Esp. any more than anyone else...

And, yeah...you kinda look like one or more of the trolls that hang out here a bunch...though I'm sure you're not.

No. they aren't. There is no point to it. What do you think it would or could accomplish? Even if the tests proved negative, what could be done? Nothing, so there is no need.

no, they don't want us to have evidence that james hewitt is harry's son, so the second inline is a cuckoo despite his nazi credentials.

I'm sure they're tested for percentage of reptilian DNA, and that determines how high in the hierarchy they can climb ;)

There is absolutely no need to feel like a troll dear girl! We welcome all-sorts to our glorious Royalty section. Now, I believe that the Major's answer will tell one all that one needs to know about this matter. You know, one can personally attest to the fact that Harry Hewitt is a fine fellow - if slightly dim in the brains department. Takes after his father, you see.

Yeah, they're DNA tested, also they're tested if they have HIV and AIDS.

Carry on trolling! :D

Prince Harry is living proof that they are not.

Or, if they are, the results are hushed up.

No their all inbred.
